Everything's happening like it should be.
So massive welcome.
This session is the Foundations for Exponential Growth,
and it's the most effective life coaching,
discipleship training, personal growth, personal development,
vision training system that I've ever come across.
So I'm really excited about it.
Let's pray, and then we're going to launch into this,
and we are going to have a blast together.
So, Jesus, I thank you so much for everyone who is sharing this journey
together.
Jesus, I thank you that we are in a time where you've called us to
arise and shine.
We're at a time where you have not called us to shrink back,
but you're calling us to expand.
You haven't called us to minimize,
but you've called us to rise up and to dream for nations.
Psalm 2, ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance.
So, Jesus, we're stepping into that,
where you've called us as your sons, as your children,
to step up, and you've said, ask for your inheritance.
Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance.
So, Papa, in a season, in an hour when the nations are raging,
we're saying, give us the nations.
Give us the nations.
Empower us to disciple nations.
Empower us to dream with you and light up our dreams like never before.
In your beautiful name, Jesus.
Amen.
Fantastic.
So.
Let me know again, right?
If you, if you want to finish 2021 with more focus,
more balance and more momentum than you've ever had before say, yes,
that's what I want.
Because if that's what you want,
then this 21 day hard things challenge is for you.
Let me know if you have some dreams that you really want to see happen.
All right.
If you want to see dreams happen, then say, yes,
then this challenge is for you.
It's not for the faint hearted.
It's not for the casual.
This is for people who actually want it.
So let me start.
You may have heard me.
If you've followed some of my training before.
You may have heard me talk about.
A friend of mine, David.
And he's got a classic question that he asks people all the time.
And he starts off.
His sessions like this.
Who wants to know the secret to getting.
Whatever you want in life.
So let me know.
Do you want to know the secret to getting whatever you want in life?
If that's a yes, then drop a yes in the comments. Yes.
I want to know the secret to getting whatever I want in life. Okay.
So that's what we're going to explore.
It's not a trick question. It's very simple.
But there is.
The answer is very simple. I'll give you the answer right now.
The answer to that question is if you want to get whatever you want in
life, you have to do whatever it takes.
All right. But there's, there's some.
All right. So let's jump right into it.
That same day.
Jesus went out of the house and sat by the Lake, such large crab.
The creature.
And the crab said, I want to know the secret to getting whatever I want
in life.
And he said, I want to know the secret to getting whatever I want in
life.
So the story, as I mentioned, is that Jesus went out of the house and
he sat by the Lake.
And he did it.
The crab said, I want to know the secret to getting whatever I want in
life.
And he said, I want to know the secret to getting whatever I want in
life.
He went out of the house and he sat by the Lake.
Such large crab crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and
sat in it.
While all the people stood on the shore.
Then he told them many things in parable saying a farmer went out to
and the birds came and ate it up.
sow his seed.
That's one option, right?
The birds eat the seed, okay?
Say the birds eat the seed.
Sun fell on rocky places where it did not have much soil.
It sprang up quickly, but because the soil was shallow,
it sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow,
but when the sun came up, the plants were scorched
and they withered because they had no root.
Okay, so birds ate the seed
or they were scorched and withered, right?
That's two.
Still, other seed fell among thorns,
which grew up and choked the plant.
So you've got eaten, you've got scorched, you've got choked,
and this is what happens to people's dreams.
Let me know if you've ever felt like your dreams
have been eaten by birds or scorched and withered
or choked out by life.
Okay, there's three options,
or there's a fourth option, right?
The fourth option is other seed fell on good soil
where it produced a crop 160 or 30 times
that what was sown.
Whoever has ears, let them hear.
So listen, 160 or 30 times, that is exponential growth,
and that's exactly what this session is about,
the foundations for exponential growth.
So that seed, right, that Jesus is talking about,
that seed, it represents all sorts of things,
but a couple of things that it definitely represents
is it represents the divine life, right?
If you wanna flourish in the divine life
that Jesus promised, then the seed is not on trial.
That's the really important thing about this parable, right?
The seed is not on trial.
The seed always produces the divine life.
So say this, say the seed takes care of itself, all right?
The seed of a promise, the seed of the word of God,
and the seed of the truth, the seed of the gospel,
the seed of the kingdom,
that seed always takes care of itself.
But what is on trial is the soil, okay?
So the soil here, it represents our hearts.
So the thing that's on trial is not the seed of the truth,
the seed of the gospel, the seed of the kingdom.
Those things are guarantees.
They always produce, they always bear the divine life in us.
They always produce destiny.
They always produce breakthrough.
The seed is not on trial.
What's on trial is the soil, right?
And the soil represents the soil of our hearts.
So say this with me, if you take care of the soil,
the seed will take care of itself.
So the seed represents your dreams coming to life.
The seed represents the life of Christ
being manifest fully in you.
So if you take care of the soil,
the seed will take care of itself.
And that's exactly what the 21-day
Hard Things Challenge is all about.
It's all about taking care of the soil of our hearts
so that the seed of truth, the seed of the gospel,
the seed of the kingdom, the seed of our dreams,
the seed of greatness can multiply and expand
and produce the life that it was designed to produce enough.
Let me know if you like the sound of that.
I'm all in for that.
I'm excited about it.
So in my life, like as a pastor
and as leading a ministry training school
for over a decade that we set up and we did it, it was awesome.
I've kind of been in this space in my life
where I've always been able to make things happen.
I've always been able to achieve dreams.
I've always been able to achieve goals.
But now I had this ability to put my mind to something
and then make it happen.
But I didn't understand why
when I was working with people,
discipling people for a long time,
it took me a long time to understand
why other people couldn't do that, right?
I was like, okay, here's three steps.
If you take these three steps, you'll get this result.
And they'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exciting.
And then they wouldn't have the ability to execute
or to implement.
They would struggle and not be able to do it.
And I was like, man, what is this?
So if we get back to that secret from my friend,
Dave Riddell, he said,
the secret to getting whatever you want in life
is to do whatever it takes.
And so when I would watch people in his meetings
and they'd be so excited to hear that
until he gave the answer, which is a great answer, right?
That is a great answer.
Do whatever it takes.
What do you have to do to make your dreams happen?
You just have to do whatever it takes.
Now, it's a brilliant answer,
but it almost seemed like there was a silent disappointment
that kind of echoed through the room when he gave that.
Because for so many of us,
there's this unconscious understanding
that we don't have what it takes.
And it's not because we're believing a lie.
It's because of our willpower, of our self-discipline,
of our grit, of our chutzpah,
of our ability to actually make things happen.
So what I realized is that a lot of people
don't have what it takes to do whatever it takes
in order to get whatever we want.
Now, the 21-Day Hard Things Challenge.
is the answer to that problem.
So the next question, right?
They actually, the deeper question is,
how do you get what it takes to do whatever it takes
to get whatever you want?
Let me say that again.
It's a bit of a tongue twister, but this is the question.
How do you get whatever,
how do you get what it takes
in order to do whatever it takes
in order to get whatever you want?
Now, the secret to that is doing hard things.
So how hard should things be?
As hard as possible.
How often should you do them?
As often as possible.
Let me break this down for you
because it's actually some really amazing
psychology behind this.
So one of the things that,
and actually there's a beautiful verse on it too.
2 Timothy 1, 7 says,
for God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity,
but of love and power and self-discipline, okay?
Say that.
God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity,
but of power, love, and self-discipline.
Now that self-discipline or self-control or willpower,
that is the substance.
That's what you need, right?
To be able to, that's what it takes.
That's what you have to get.
You have to get the self-discipline.
You have to get the self-control.
You have to get the willpower
because that is gonna give you the ability
to do whatever it takes to get whatever you want.
So it's something that can actually be developed within us.
And what I realized is that
the thing that built that into me
is something that I actually hated, all right?
I didn't really like this, but as a kid,
my dad and my mom, they had an organic market garden.
And so growing up,
we just spent countless hours out
on the organic market garden,
always working, always hustling, always grinding.
You know, from the time I was six,
I was out weeding thistles,
I was doing all sorts of things.
And, you know, if it was hot,
you still had to get the jobs done.
If it was freezing cold and icy,
you still had to get the jobs done.
If it was pouring down with rain,
we would get all our wet weather gear up.
Oh, sometimes I really hated those days
we got the wet weather gear on,
we got the gumboots on,
and it's like a monsoon outside.
And we are still hustling all day long.
We're getting stuff done
because there wasn't the option on the farm
of just not doing stuff because it wasn't easy
because everything was hard.
So we're just on this constant diet
of doing hard things.
And I didn't like it at the time,
but as I kind of psychoanalyzed myself
and looked back over it,
you know, all this time of training people,
and go, man, what is it that people,
why can't people,
why don't people have the ability
to do whatever it takes to get whatever they want?
And I realized, wow,
it's this dynamic of willpower
and self-discipline and self-control.
And I actually realized,
well, that is what my dad was putting into me
for all those years.
I didn't realize it.
And I realized, oh my gosh,
one of the biggest gifts that my father ever gave me
was the opportunity to do hard things.
And not just one or two,
he just gave me the opportunity for years to do hard things.
But the beauty of that is that doing hard things
is what gives you what it takes
to be able to do whatever it takes
to be able to get whatever you want.
So let me know, do you want to get your dreams, right?
Are you passionate about your dreams?
If you're passionate about your dreams,
you have to have willpower, self-discipline.
You have to have that self-control.
That's one of the greatest elements
to being able to make that happen.
So the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge
is about for all of us developing at that,
but it's also about mastering
the seven sacred elements to balance.
Okay, so we're gonna jump into this
and talk through the seven sacred elements to balance.
I'm gonna share my screen with you.
I've just got some real basic notes here
just on a Word document,
but I'm gonna share my screen with you.
Boom, let's pop this up.
Seven sacred elements to balance.
Now we teach this in the online School of Sonship.
So you've got the first side of things
is the spiritual side, okay?
So spiritual or sonship or identity.
This is the first thing.
This is kind of one of the most foundational parts
of our life.
So we're looking now at the seven sacred elements
to balance, all right?
If you want to know what should you focus on
in order to make your dreams happen,
focus on these seven areas of your life
and you will start lighting up your dreams, okay?
Prioritize these seven areas
and you will start lighting up your dreams.
You will add more focus, more balance, more momentum,
and you will fast track your dreams
if you focus on these seven sacred elements to balance.
Okay, so there's the spiritual side of things in life,
there's the relationships,
there's physical health and fitness,
there's vision and there's finances
and there's focus and there's work ethic.
So these are the seven sacred elements to balance
that we're gonna get into.
We're gonna unpack these.
And you're going to see shortly why these are important
and how they integrate and how they play out in the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge.
How are you feeling?
I'm going to stop the screen share there.
I'm just going to check the comments,
see how people are vibing on this.
Cool. Cool. Yes.
Want to see dreams happen.
Yes. To get whatever. Yep. Beauty.
Yeah. Some people have missed out on some dreams.
Very cool.
We can do whatever it takes.
Beautiful. Love it.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
God speaking to me about discipline and focus.
Fantastic. OK, cool.
Sweet. Then we are tracking together.
So let's carry on.
Let's carry on.
I've got to.
My my notes disappeared when I did that.
I just got to.
There we go.
Bring them up again.
Cool. OK, so those are the seven sacred elements to balance
that we're going to be focusing on during the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge.
OK, so this is where the balance is going to really come in.
It's going to help us bring focus.
So let me unpack what we are going to be doing
during the 21 Day Challenge. OK, so.
During the 21 Day Challenge, we are actually doing
12 things on a daily basis, which are our daily hard things.
Now, I'm going to drop a copy of this
for you into the comments right now.
So that you have got a copy of the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge.
I'm sorry, I'm going to drop a copy for you,
and I'm also going to screen share and we're going to go through
these elements together.
So hold with me a second.
So if you're watching this, I am going to post this image.
I'm going to post it right now for you. OK, so here we go.
I'm just posting it on the.
I'm going to post it into the comments on the video.
OK, so you've got that.
And so what I'm giving you right now,
this is the graphic that will help you go, Oh, sweet.
I understand that. I understand what you're talking about.
OK, it's not going to be posted on the comments,
but I'm going to post it in the Masterclass Group.
We're streaming on a few different places.
So in the Masterclass Group, I've just dropped that.
I'm just dropping this now for you into just the News Feed.
So that is posting there on there.
If you're watching on my personal page,
I'm posting it for you now on my personal page as well.
And if you're watching it anywhere else,
I'll post it after this session. Right. Sweet.
OK, there it is.
I'm going to screen share now and we're going to go through
the 12 daily things that we are going to be working on
in the 21 Day Hard Things Challenge.
OK, screen share is happening.
This is on. Very good.
OK, let's make this big.
All right. The 12 daily hard things.
OK, so in the 21 Day Challenge,
there's 12 daily hard things that we're going to be doing.
OK. And the whole dynamic, the whole purpose
behind these daily hard things is that we add balance, right?
We want to add balance.
So they're about bringing balance.
And the other thing is, remember,
if you take care of the soil, the seed will take care of itself.
So these things, the balance is actually all designed
to take care of the soil of our hearts.
It's designed to bring balance.
It's designed to bring focus.
And the result of that will be momentum on our goals and dreams.
OK, so let's jump into them.
And I want to kind of check in with you
and just get a gauge from you if you think these things
are achievable or not achievable.
OK, so the first thing is, and you can obviously,
you can do these at any time of day or anything like that.
So the first thing is, just on the list,
there's no order of actual priority.
But the first thing on the list here
is praying in the spirit for five minutes a day.
Now, do you think that this is achievable or not achievable?
That's what I want to hear from you in the comments.
Is this achievable or not achievable?
Praying in the spirit for five minutes a day.
Is that achievable?
So give me a thumbs up yes or no.
If you think that's achievable, drop a yes in the comments.
So the next thing that we're going to be doing
is we're going to be reading a chapter of Proverbs a day.
OK, so we're going to be reading through the Book of Proverbs.
Just one chapter a day.
So is that achievable?
or not achievable? Drop a yes in the comments or a no if you think it's achievable. Say
yes if you don't like, no, that's not possible. All right. Number three is record your favorite
verse from the chapter. Okay. So write it down. You can, I sometimes write it down in
my journal. So I've got my Bible here. I've got my journal here. Sometimes I'll write
it down in my actual paper journal. Sometimes I just put it in my phone. I've got a journal
on my phone as well. So achievable or not achievable. All right. Next thing is the three
things that you're grateful for. What I, you just write this down in your journal as well.
Three things that you're grateful for that day. The next one is a little bit more dynamic.
All right. The next thing is complete your daily declarations. So I've got my daily declarations.
These are so, so amazing. This has been one of the biggest benefits and helps to me in
the process of bringing my juice to life. Mine's quite long. Mine's two pages of stuff.
It's really detailed. It's really off the charts. It's extravagant. It's wild. It goes
into all the dreams and desires that I have in every area of my life. But what we want
to do for this challenge is just make it a simplified version just to get started. So
you can be as elaborate with this as you want, but I suggest just starting simply.
Let me pull up these notes again. So here we go back to the seven sacred elements to
balance, right? So the spiritual, relationships, physical health and fitness, vision, finances,
focus, and work ethic. So all of the daily hard things, challenges, so our 12 things,
they all revolve around these seven areas about developing that. That's what the whole
challenge is about, bringing balance so we thrive. So what you want to do, part of this,
there's two pieces of homework to this process, okay, to get you set up. So the first piece of
homework is to write a declaration about the promises of God, about your dreams in this
area of your life. So it can be really simple. You might want to just start with a simple
one sentence declaration, but write a declaration. This is going to take you a little bit of time,
but it's going to add enormous benefit to you. It is a huge part of the science of dreams. It's
a huge part of faith. And it's one of the real keys to actually birthing your dreams is to write
them down, to focus on them, and to declare them on a daily basis. So you're going to write down
one short decree. If you want, you can go really elaborate. Otherwise, just write down a sentence,
then a sentence for the spiritual sentence for relationships, a sentence for your health and
fitness, a sentence for your vision, a sentence for your finances, a sentence for your focus,
and a sentence for your work ethic. Okay, so that's the idea is you've got to write down
seven declarations, and then you're going to be making those declarations on a daily
basis. All right, next one. So is that achievable or not achievable? What do you think?
Is that achievable or not achievable? I think totally achievable. So let me know if you think
that's achievable. Complete your daily declarations. Now, number six is move your body
for at least five minutes. Can you do that? Yes, I think that's totally achievable. Now, let me tell
you something about this whole idea of praying in the spirit for five minutes or moving your body
for five minutes. You might actually be able to do that way more. You might do that way more. But
the whole idea is that if you're someone who doesn't do that a lot, like for me, for example,
I was pastoring, and I just work in my desk all the time. And I started to notice, you know,
after I turned 30, my metabolism changed. And I started putting on a whole bunch of extra weight
and belly fat started growing there. I started noticing, oh, it's getting harder to tie my
shoelaces. And I didn't like the way things were going. But at the same time, I didn't have a
workout or exercise mentality. I just didn't have that. You know, in the past, I'd just,
I'd run around in the bush a lot, and I was still active, but I wasn't active enough to
be keeping my body in the type of shape that I wanted it. So doing something for five minutes
a day, right, like praying in spirit for five minutes a day, it creates a habit. And so a habit
creates a reflex, a reflex creates a lifestyle, a lifestyle creates a state of being. So you've got
a practice, right? A practice creates a habit, a habit creates a reflex, a reflex creates a
lifestyle, a lifestyle creates a state of being. So you've got practice, habit, reflex, lifestyle,
and state of being. And with praying in the spirit for five minutes a day, or working out for five
minutes a day, just moving your body could be just as simple as going for a walk for five minutes,
but moving your body. By doing that, you actually retrain your brain. Now, this is one of the
beautiful things about doing something for 21 days, is it takes 21 days to create a new neural
logical pathway in your brain. All right. Now, sometimes people
go, I don't like doing hard things, it's not comfortable.
Well, sometimes it's because you're stuck in a rut, right?
And you can literally be stuck in a rut that is a neurological
pathway, right? You might, you know, because what you practice
or what you don't practice, it will become, you know, practice
a habit, a reflex, a lifestyle, a state of being, if you hate
doing hard things, if you're comfortable, if it's not
comfortable, or, you know, then what you're going to have to do
is you're going to have to retrain your brain. Because if
you're in this place where you're not willing to do hard
things, you don't have willpower, you don't have self
control, or you don't have self discipline, if you're stuck in
that place, then you'll never have what it takes to be able to
do whatever it takes to be able to get whatever you want. So if
you want to start shifting things, you're going to have to
start retraining your brain to embrace hard things. And the
cool thing about this is that we go on it as a journey
together for 21 days as a shared experience. And, and we've got
that accountability dynamic. And you can actually over 21 days
doing these things for 21 days, it actually will create a brand
new neurological pathway in your brain that will expand your
self discipline, expand your self control, expand your
willpower, actually grow and strengthen it. So move your body
for at least five minutes a day, let me know achievable or
not achievable. I think absolutely. Yes. Right. Number
seven is an easy one. Eat something awesome. Can you eat
something awesome? Yes, I think you can. I think everyone will
love that one. The good thing about this, right, eating
something awesome is it's just about being conscious, right of
our nutrition. I haven't got a full dieting program attached to
the 21 day challenge. It's just about us to start getting to
think about being more conscious around our nutrition. So eating
something awesome each day, it just gives us that
consciousness. And sometimes just by the fact that you're
wanting to eat something awesome, maybe you'll start
reading the labels a little bit more clearly. I know that Alana
when we years ago, probably over a decade ago now we were doing
a I was doing a 10 day fast and church was doing a season of
fasting. And Alana and some of the ladies did a Daniel fast.
And so they started reading the labels because they weren't
going to be eating sugar for that 10 days. And what they
realized is, oh my gosh, there's sugar and there's these crazy
additives. And there's really long numbers of the ingredients
that when most of those things when you see it, look on the
label of something, it doesn't actually have a word, it's just
got a long number. Oftentimes, those things are really toxic.
And our nutrition is something we have to really focus on and
be really conscious of. And so eating something awesome is just
about being conscious of our nutrition. I what happened with
Alana is that she started to reduce our sugar intake. And so
I went from having a really high sugar diet to a reduced sugar
diet, I still enjoy sugar here and there. I love it, actually
chocolate, things like that. But overall, there's been a
massive shift in nutrition. So eating something awesome,
achievable or not achievable, let me know. Alright, the next
one, drink three liters of water a day. Oh, let me take a sip
right now. Like this bottle because it's a liter. It's really
easy for me to drink three liters.
Let me do that again.
Oh, yeah. Three to four liters. For me goes down easy just goes
down like a treat. I'll say this about the drink three liters of
water. It's not everyone can really do three liters of water.
Maybe if it's hot, everyone could do that. But some people
might struggle. So you could make it a goal for two liters.
I'm pretty sure that pretty much every adult could do two liters
of water a day. So if you can't do three liters, make two liters
of gold. But the whole idea is increase the amount of water
that you're drinking. And personally, for myself as well
as I've got a great water machine in my house. So I have
fantastic water. I don't really love drinking water out of the
tap that often. But when I drink it out of my water machine, I
love it. I can taste the difference. It's awesome. If you
want to know about water machines, let me know. Because
they make a huge difference. If you change your water, you
change your life, right? You think about this, that our bodies
are what over 70% water. So when you change your water, you
change your life, you want really fantastic water, and you
want a lot of it. All right, sweet. Number nine is
intentionally. Oh, wait, is that achievable or not achievable?
Drinking two to three liters of water? Is that achievable or not
achievable? Let me know what you think.
Okay, number nine, intentionally love on someone.
Could you intentionally love on someone in a day?
Yes or no, achievable or not achievable?
Number 10.
I'll have to explain number 10 for you a little bit.
Practice your trigger.
Okay, what is your trigger?
So practicing your trigger is all about practicing the presence of God.
Okay, so what we want to do is we actually want to bring
the presence of God into our mundane moments.
We want to bring the presence of God into every part of our lives.
We're going to bring the presence of God into all the little moments
of the day, rather than just having God, you know,
kind of isolated to these other moments.
Well, this is going to do God.
We actually want to bring the presence of God and bring the glory of God.
Wow.
And bring intimacy and union and oneness with God into the fabric of our day,
into the fabric of our hours, into the fabric of our minutes.
We want to bring God into the fabric of our day.
But to do that, remember, a practice becomes a habit,
becomes a reflex, becomes a lifestyle, becomes a state of being.
So we want to be practicing the presence of God.
So the idea of practicing your trigger is here's what you're going to do.
This is where there's a little bit of homework on this one, too.
Oh, hey, I just realized that my screen share wasn't happening.
Let me share my screen.
Oh, there you go.
Sorry about that.
So I thought I was sharing my screen, and I wasn't.
Sneaky.
Okay.
So we've got the list here again.
So praying in the spirit, five minutes, reading a chapter of Proverbs,
record your favorite verse, list three things you're grateful for,
complete your daily declarations, move your body for at least five minutes,
eat something awesome, drink three liters of water,
intensely love on someone.
And here we are at number ten.
Practice your trigger.
So here's the homework side of this is I want to get you to draw a picture
that represents what intimacy with God looks like for you.
It can be really simple.
When I drew my picture that represents what intimacy looks like for me with God
is really, really basic.
It's like stick figures.
I'm just gonna see if I can find the picture of it on my phone.
I can see it in my mind.
It's really easy because I've spent a bunch of time focusing on my mind.
So give me a second here.
It'll come up.
But what you do is you are going to draw a picture.
There you are.
Boom.
You want to draw a simple picture that represents
what intimacy with God looks like for you.
Okay.
So you can see mine.
It's really, really basic.
But this picture, it becomes a mind hook, right?
So you draw this picture and it's like, okay,
this is what intimacy with God looks like for me.
It's just a symbol, but it becomes a mind hook.
So that mind hook, you've got that in there.
You just think about it.
So you can easily think, oh, yeah, this is my picture of intimacy with God.
This is my most beautiful picture of what intimacy with God looks like.
So you've got a mind hook that you're using to practice the presence of God.
You go, ah, you just start thinking like, wow,
this is what intimacy is all about for me and God.
And then you have a trigger that's like,
when you're doing this trigger.
So I've actually got here a little Post-it note.
It's supposed to be on my computer, but it fell off.
So it just sits kind of right in front of my computer here.
It just says trigger.
And for me, my trigger is my drink bottle.
So I aim.
Now, I do not get this all the time.
Not even close, but I'm aiming more and more
just to practice this often and often and often.
Just keep practicing this and keep being intentional about practicing it.
And it doesn't matter if I don't get it all the time.
But the cool thing is, I get it sometimes, and it's awesome.
So the idea is, I've got my picture drawn, which is my mind hook.
Then I practice my trigger, which is every time I have a drink,
the aim is to remember the presence, just to practice the presence.
So I'm like.
Very nice.
So you could get your trigger out.
You know, your trigger could be anything.
It could be when you get in the car or whatever.
But you could put some post-it notes or something like that.
And the beautiful thing is, we just start practicing the presence of God.
And more and more, the presence of God becomes infused
into the fabric of our days, into the fabric of our hours
and our minutes and our conscious awareness, which is awesome.
Number 11 is make a genius financial move.
Okay, let me fast track some Kingdom Economics with you.
There's four purposes of money, right?
You can spend money.
You can give money.
You can invest money.
Or you can save money.
Now, each of us, we are in an economy on a daily basis.
Our personal economy is operating every day.
Every day, we're doing something.
Usually, every day, there's usually some cost.
There's usually something.
we want some way that we're spending money or some way that we could be saving money or some
oh sorry spending money saving money investing money or giving money so the whole here idea here
about making a genius financial move is just being intentional about what we're doing with our money
so it could be good spending could be like um not spending it could be like i'm going to save on
that or good spending could be actually i'm going to get something that's really quality or giving
could be like hey i'm going to do something awesome for this person it's just about being
intentional and making sure that we don't neglect the balance in life and putting value on how we
steward our finances how are we spending how are we saving how are we giving how are we investing
so every day make a genius financial move now that could be that you're also generating income
okay the genius financial move could be okay i'm also earning like how am i earning um i'm either
investing my time into creating maybe you're creating something that you're going to sell
i'm creating stuff all the time i create you know like um content we write books we write you know
create trainings that are like this i like you know this graphic how did that happen that was
me creating um uh so there could be something that you're doing there's always something that
you can be doing so it doesn't have to be a huge thing it's just about being intentional and being
conscious of the fact that you're being a wise steward of your finances every day
and then number 12 is post an accountability photo now this part is fun and so
let me stop the share um i'm actually i'm going to start the screen share again i'll show you
do we actually do this daily hard things challenge already in the school of sonship
and we're seeing such awesome results for people uh in terms of personal transformation so
here we go in the online school of sonship i'll just show you what i mean by posting
accountability pic so each day here in the masterclass group so this is yesterday day
53 we're up to in the school of sonship but uh i just posted these accountability pics right so
yesterday i was this was me at the gym yesterday so they'll every day in the 21 day hard things
challenge we will post up a pic um someone in our in our raising royalty tribe will post the
pic for that day and it will be uh and then what the idea is for you is that you post an accountability
pic so um so some of these guys uh here we go this is one from the other day
oh often what will happen so for you guys the idea is post a picture beneath it okay so you'll
see a picture like this or whatever it'll be day one day whatever so it'll be here in the
masterclass group and um if you're not in the masterclass group yet then if you're watching
this on my personal page or if you're watching this on some other page then there's a link in
the description of this video that you can click on and you can do the um you can do you can jump
on board with this training you can jump on board with the 21 day challenge it's uh free so here we
go this is the raising royalty masterclass group you'll be able to jump in here it's 54 000 people
in this group and in here on a daily basis you'll see us drop these accountability pics and then
you'll just drop your picture just take a picture it could be as simple as taking a photo of your
drink bottle um it could be taking a photo of when you were working out it could be anything okay so
that's the idea is that the 12th thing is posting that so are those achievable let's actually go
back to this list that we've got going on here and let's check this out so one more round through
you tell me if you think these are achievable or not achievable first off praying in the spirit
for five minutes a day is that achievable or not achievable i think yes all right so um number two
reading a chapter of proverbs a day achievable not achievable yes i'm sure that's achievable
and then number three is record your favorite verse from the chapter achievable or not achievable
yes i know that's achievable list three things you're grateful for well sometimes the hardest
thing about that is keeping it down to three things so if you feel like getting carried away
then go for it um number five complete your daily declarations achievable for sure six move your
body at least five minutes yes achievable eat something awesome yes achievable number eight
drink three liters of water yes number nine intentionally loving someone absolutely achievable
10, practice your trigger, totally achievable.
Number 11, make a genius financial move.
Yes, definitely.
And number 12, post an accountability photo.
Yes, that's absolutely achievable.
Okay, so those are the 12 daily hard things
and the 21-day daily hard things challenge.
I'm really excited about that.
Now, there's actually a lot of science
into what's gone into what we've put here,
why we've put it.
A lot of it's about the science of your brain.
It's about neuroplasticity.
It's about how can we actually steward our brains?
How can we steward the chemicals in our body?
And how can we steward them spiritually?
It's pretty exciting.
So we are going to be wrapping it up right there, fam.
I hope that has been a blessing for you.
I'm very excited about it.
Now, if you're watching this,
you've got two options for doing
the 21-day daily hard things challenge.
So you've got the free option.
I could charge people a lot of money
for doing a challenge like this.
As a life coach, you can charge well for content like this.
But I'm just excited about you guys
actually bringing more focus, more balance,
and more momentum to your dreams.
Because this, like, let me know if you agree with this or not.
Like we're in a very very serious hour in world history
where we are not, this is not about just playing games.
This is not about, you know, like just going to church.
This is seriously time to align
with your God-given assignment like never before.
This is a really a very very serious time.
Like you need to be in alignment
with what God's calling you to do right now.
Or you're going to really pay the price for this
if you muck around.
If you're not in alignment
with what God's calling you to do right now,
then the consequences are getting much higher.
So right now, I don't think that there's ever been
a more serious time for us to be making sure
that we're intentional about stepping into focus,
stepping into balance,
and actually having massive kingdom momentum behind us.
Because these are serious days that we're in right now.
So that's one of the reasons why I'm excited
about people getting this.
Because it's fulfilled dreams that disciple nations, right?
And so we need to see a viral outbreak of dreams.
We need to see your dreams lit up.
So why don't you share this?
You can tell your friends this is free.
Bring them on board.
Jump on board with this.
We should be seeing everyone who's following Jesus.
Everyone who's following Jesus should be in a place right now
where they're taking the call of God very, very seriously,
where they're taking their dreams very, very seriously.
Because every single dream has a huge ability
to create impact, to impact lives, to disciple nations.
And so every time a dream withers or dies,
if you imagine the dreams like the seeds in the sower,
if there's a dream that gets eaten by the birds,
if there's a dream that withers and is scorched,
if there's a dream that is choked,
then that has a huge impact on the planet.
People miss out.
Humanity pays a huge price
if your dreams are not being fulfilled.
So this is something we really need to seriously think about.
So if you know people who are casual,
like it's wake up time, man.
This is Isaiah 60 time.
This is time to arise and shine for your light has come.
Behold, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord has risen upon you
and his glory shines over you.
And that word, Hebrew word for arise,
it's actually kwum, right?
Kwum is the Hebrew word.
And actually is a word that they would use
when they sounded the trumpets.
It's time to get ready for war.
It's time to get ready for battle.
And I think for 2021, that word kwum,
it's time to arise.
It's time, it's like, it is battle stations on.
It's go, go, go.
It's action time.
Like we are, war is at hand.
It's time to like step up.
It's time to step in.
It's time to take action.
Like that is a serious word.
And I think that's one of the most significant words
that God has released over the body of Christ in 2021
is it's time to kwum.
It's time to arise.
It's time to shine.
It's time to take battle positions.
It's time to step in into a place of urgency.
Let me ask you this.
You know, if you all of a sudden discovered
that there was an army advancing against you,
if you decided, discovered, like you woke up
and you realized that your nation had gone to war
and that there was an enemy army
actually coming to your doorsteps very soon,
would you be casual
or would there be an urgency about what you're doing?
Well, this is something that the Spirit of God
is releasing right now into the body of Christ
is a whole new level of urgency.
And this word kwum is so significant right now.
We have to take kwum.
We have to kwum.
We have to take urgent action.
It's time for urgent, immediate action to prepare
as though we are going to war
because that's how serious things are getting
in the world right now.
So I'm excited about making this opportunity
available for everyone.
So it's free if you want,
but there's also another option, right?
So there's two links in the description of this video.
One is you can just do this challenge for free.
The other one is you can get over $10,000.
dollars worth of gifts from Raising Royalty. Okay, so we'll give you the online School of Sonship
valued at $1,497. We'll give you lifetime access to that for free. This is ridiculous. We have got
the School of Social Media Marketing where we teach people how to monetize their social media
and we just show you how to actually do all sorts of stuff. Lifetime value of that is
valued at $3,997. We're going to give you that as a gift. So and then there's also
we have a whole amazing business system. We've spent over $500,000 creating automated kingdom
impact and income systems where you can impact lives, disciple people that just really transform
families, bless marriages. You can do all of that in your sleep. So if that's something that you
want, we will give all of that. It's over $10,000 worth of value. We'll give you that as a gift.
But there is a little, we just ask people to partner with us to help cover the labor cost.
So that's $37 if you want to jump on board with that option. And it's just insane the value that
you get from it. It's just ridiculous. You're not going to see any type of generosity like this
anywhere in the world. That's always our aim is raising royalties to be the most generous people
on the planet. So that's us. I'm excited about this. Your two sets of homework if you want to
get busy with this and we're starting today. So today is going to be day one. All right. So you're
going to see me post an accountability pick today here in the group. You'll see day one go up.
It won't always be me posting the accountability picks as the main person. I'll be, if I'm not
posting the main pick, then I'll be posting mine in the comments because I'm going to be doing this
100%. And yeah, I love this challenge. I love these daily hard things to challenge. So
homework number one is you've got to write your seven decrees. So get busy on that writing a
seven daily declarations. And then homework number two is draw a picture that represents
intimacy for you that can be a mind hook for you as you're practicing the presence as your trigger.
Very cool. Hey, well, feel free to drop any questions you have in the comments. I'm going
to sign off for now. Lots and lots of love to everyone. Bless you. Have a wonderful weekend.
And let's do hard things. Let me pray for you. I guess last thing is our anthem is raising
royalty as we do hard things, right? Our mission statement is we are a movement of kingdom royalty,
discipling nations through fulfilled dreams. But our anthem is we do hard things because it's in
the doing of hard things that brings dreams to life. So hard things make dreams happen. I'm so
excited to share this journey with you. So jump on board and let's have a blast. Let me pray.
Papa, we just know this is an hour of urgency, an hour where you are calling us to come to arise
and shine. And Papa, right now, we just say, breathe, breathe, breathe, Papa, would you breathe
on what we are doing right now as we step into the 21 day daily hard things challenge, we ask that you
would breathe on it, we ask for grace on it. And Papa, we ask that you would light up our dreams,
that you would add focus and balance and momentum to every area of our lives like never before.
Papa, I ask that you would just set hearts ablaze. I ask that you would bring massive,
massive kingdom momentum to dreams, that dreams will start being fulfilled. And Papa, I ask that
our hearts, you would take care of our hearts, Papa, that our hearts would become good soil
for the seed of the gospel, good soil for the seed of the kingdom, good soil for the seed of
the divine life, good soil for the seeds of greatness, good soil for the seeds of destiny,
good soil for the seeds of the dreams that you are scattering over our lives. Papa, I ask that you do
a beautiful work in us and that you create good soil in us and you release a grace over us so that
we have what it takes to be able to do whatever it takes in order to step into the calling and bring
your wildest dreams for our lives to fruition. In your beautiful name, Jesus. Amen. Love you,
fam. Have a wonderful day. We'll catch you soon. I'm off to go and do some hard things. See you.
